Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition
|
Action-Adventure/Being a Badass
|
An enhanced port of Batman: Arkham City exclusively for Wii U. Has everything from before, a Battle Armor Tech mode, reimagined gadgets, and all previously released DLC on the disc. If you haven't played Arkham City before, it's worth a shot on the Wii U.

New Super Mario Bros. U
|
2D Platformer
|
ANOTHER New Super Mario Bros. game? Well, this happens to be the best one so far in the series. Mario and his friends are in glorious HD, and a fifth player can help (completely fuck with) others with the Wii U pad. Still has the shitty toad players, though.
|
|
Only supported through single player properly, in multiplayer you can only use Wiimotes to actually play properly, you can only place blocks down using the Gamepad.
|
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
|
Action-Adventure/Hack-N-Slash
|
An enhanced port of the critically panned Ninja Gaiden 3, similiar to the Ninja Gaiden Sigma releases for the PS3. Team Ninja did their best to listen to and address the numerous issues from the original game, removing enemies begging for their lives, as well as adding more weapons, moves, and playable characters, bringing back the Karma system for upgrades, and significantly upping the game's uncharacteristically easy difficulty level. Get a Pro Controller to play it, although the Gamepad is still usable.

Scribblenauts Unlimited
|
Platformer/Puzzle

Maxwell is back again in probably the best Scribblenauts game so far. Has an Object Creator; you can literally make anything now. Also on Steam, which is probably better to get there since the Wii U just came out.
